onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I know it's abnormal to be running that high at 1800 rpm, 75mph on the highway. Normally it runs at 30psi this is on a warmed up engine. What could cause the pressure to go this high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Are you getting any warnings? Alarms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 On a road trip and just got a check engine light...Great. She runs perfectly fine though. Ah, didn't bring my bod code reader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah maybe...but the pressures rise and drop when they should. Sitting at idle is 25psi, full throttle maxed out at 80psi. Temperatures are all normal. 50deg f outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Where is the oil pressure gage? I didn't know the DJ had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhh3 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 OK Thank you. I keep mine on the fuel economy. I never looked at the other choices. I'll have to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Just got the code read and it's P06DA...something about oil pressure circuit. Looks like the common problem on other vehicles is the oil filter or oil filter o ring gone bad. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Looking around more, it says to check the oil pressure switch valve assemby voltage and harness for connection. Anybody got a chart that shows where this is located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks a bunch for the diagram. I'm guessing this would be covered by 100k powertrain warranty right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Figured I'd post these since the question was brought up. Seems kinda high to me but there are no warning lights or anything. I'm not sure what the oil pressure range is.42 psi at idle83 psi at 2000 Rpms Edited June 24, 2015 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Jkeaton, I bet you're getting those numbers with a cold engine though. Once it warms up, it'll drop a lot. Your gauge does look much cooler than our older thermometer gauge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 You can see the engine temp gauge in the tachometer window Vehicle was at operating temp. This is oil pressure, not temperature. There is another screen for oil temp with a thermometer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenze Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yeah we have a thermometer for oil pressure 2011 They must have updated it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Pressure on a thermometer? What bright engineer thought that up??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silenze Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Oh and the thermometer level never changes on all the screens. Just the numbers. So 150 is the same level as 0 jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onecrazyfoo4u Posted April 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm going to change the oil and filter tonight first, then clear the code to see if that fixes the issue. If not, I guess I'll have to make a dealer visit (would by my second visit in 3 years of ownership). I freaking hate going to the dealer though...

Seems kinda night to me nut there are no warning lights or anything. I'm not sure what the oil pressure range is. 42 psi at idle 83 psi at 2000 Rpms I'm very surprised your oil pressure was this high on a warmed up engine. Mine was always in the 30-40's while cruising at highway speed. Yes, it'll be in the 70-80's for the first 10 minutes of driving or so, until it drops in half.

hot rod Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Please let me know what came of this. This weekend, my journey threw a check engine light. I went to AutoZone and had it checked. The code was P06DE. My oil pressure is pegging out at 96 psi (it won't show anything above that) when warmed up at highway speed. The bad thing is that I was three hours away from home on a Sunday so I've been driving it like this a lot. Appointment at the dealership is Thursday (earliest available and no sense of urgency). Is this causing engine damage? What did you find out from your visit to the dealership? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hot rod Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 So the sensor can make it read falsely? I hope that is the case and the pursue isn't actually that high. The code says that the "oil pressure control circuit is stuck on." Could that cause the pressure to truly be that high? When I drove it today, the pressure did fluctuate some. Low:45 psi, high pegged out at 96... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low:45 psi, high pegged out at 96... Yes, the sensor senses the pressure and reports it to the PCM... I'm sure this doesn't apply to yours being it's a 2014, but: http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/3522-oil-preasure-light/ Generally I think that since it is saying it is a circuit, that the PCM is not seeing a voltage reading that it expects to see...which is what leads me to believe it is the pressure sensor.

onecrazyfoo4u Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Actually I never did make it to the dealership, lol. I'm pretty certain it's just a bad sensor problem like Lobitz said. Mine will trigger the code/check engine light for a week, then disappear for a week. It keeps going away on it's own...which most definitely points to a bad sensor or loose connection. Nothing that's actually damaging the engine. It's a common code if you search it...many people have had it pop up due to bad sensor. But I will take it to the dealer to hopefully fix under powertrain warranty (they will probably try not to cover it) when I go to get my transmission fluid changed in a couple weeks.
